GREAT conference and p-dayfun!

Hi family! 10/05/15

Good
week. So different without Hermana Marsh! I miss her tons and tons! So,
after Hermana Marsh left, I was with Hermana Judd and Hermana
Braun. We spent pday together and then went out and taught. We taught
L and it was fantastic! We taught baptism and confirmation and the
spirit was so strong. We decided to fecha her which is

At the mission home!

not ideal for
her personal situation, but the spirit was so strong telling us to, so
we set a fecha for the 31st of October and she started crying.
She is ready to do whatever possible to make that date and the ward is
seeing how they can help her reach it. She is amazing. I love her. She
came to conference on Sunday night and just loved it too. I have
really high hopes for her.D is
good, as usual. Went to all of the sessions of conference. He's
great. He said he has some new questions for us, but that the conference
answered a few questions. I feel like some of the talks were just
for him.

M signed up to feed the missionaries this week. She is so sweet and fed
us really good food. She fed the elders too. She is having a hard
time with the word of wisdom, but she can do it. She wants to be
baptized, but we need to change her fecha for a little farther away.
Also, we invited her to conference and the church and she declined
because a member had already invited her to watch it at their house. I
love the members!

S is
fantastic. We retaught the restoration and watched the Joseph Smith
movie and it was soooo good. The spirit was super strong. We invited
S to participate in missionary work and she told us she didn't
know how because everyone she knows had declined to hear from the
missionaries, so we said she could come with us to lessons and share her
testimony and such and not only did she offer to help with a lesson,
but to help us for a whole day. She's a machine!

V is still struggling with giving up smoking. She had a rough week with
her family and that made her stressed and want to smoke more. We
still are just praying hard for her and waiting.

Conference
was fantastic. Literally, the best part of the year. Saturday
night was my favorite session. Also, Elder Durant is good friends
with President Pack, so he may be coming for Christmas! So cool.

IKEA fun

Anyway, right now, we're in Madrid, surprise!

Meatball lunch at IKEA

President and Hermana
Pack decided to bring us in for concilio instead of Skyping us in.So,
yeah, I'm hanging out with President and Hermana for pday.We are
currently at ikea for Presidents first time. So fun. Anyway, I love you
all! Have a great week!
